Vitra originals and their stories
Every Vitra product is an original. And every original has a story. Each story describes how an idea was conceived, through the ups and downs of development, the many prototypes, how they became finished products, and the ‘what happens next’. The main actors in these stories are the designers and Vitra. These are our stories. Only we can tell them. That’s how we define an original. Because in the end: The original comes from Vitra. Just like its story.
Maarten Van Severen
The designer Maarten Van Severen started creating furniture in the mid-1980s, initially producing the pieces himself in his Ghent workshop. His designs are characterised by their simple form and superb comfort. The collaboration with Vitra began in 1996, resulting in the Van Severen Collection.
